We present a unique, biologically consistent, spatially disaggregated global livestock dataset containing information on biomass use, production, feed efficiency, excretion, and greenhouse gas emissions for 28 regions, 8 livestock production systems, 4 animal species (cattle, small ruminants, pigs, and poultry), and 3 livestock products (milk, meat, and eggs). The dataset contains over 50 new g...

Traditional crop-livestock interaction patterns were investigated in four different Upazila under Khulna District of Bangladesh during the period from March to April, 2002. Data on parameters viz. number livestock and poultry, medium cultivation, use fertilizer pesticides for crop production, type integrated farming system, rate quantity cowdung, etc. collected randomly selected 117 farm family...

Alginate oligosaccharides (AOS), belonging to the class of functional marine oligosaccharides, are low-molecular polymers linked by ?-1,4-mannuronic acid (M) and ?-1,4-guluronic (G), which could be classically obtained enzymatic hydrolysis alginate. With low viscosity good water solubility, as well anti-oxidant, immune regulation, anti-bacterial anti-inflammatory activities, AOS have been widel...

The current explosion in new high-throughput technologies arising from microbial and animal genomics studies is enabling the analysis of the genome, transcriptome, and proteome and offers the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the molecular pathways underlying pathogen biology, the host immune system, and host-pathogen interactions. These new tools can be applied to veterinary pathog...
